CLASS ONE

Contacts of your target Customers

Good morning,

Happy to have you guys for this visibility training.

The class is starting at 6 pm, and everybody needs to be active.

We will be discussing visibility in the digital marketplace from the root, to make a huge impact in your business.

But before then, we can introduce ourselves officially to the house, a contact that will initiate a massive sale in your business might be on this group.

Let get started!!! 

Introduction

People need to see you first, before asking what you are selling.

Welcome to Business Visibility Class Training by Xprexweb.

Most of us have been carried away by the huge pressure/noise Instagram, running for likes and followers.

Doing follow4follow, piling up non-target audiences as followers, end up with no/low sales, which probably can kill the drive of running a business. 

 

How many of you agree with me that People need to see you first, before asking what you are selling.

Most of us have been carried away by the huge pressure/noise Instagram, running for likes and followers.

Doing follow4follow, piling up non-target audiences as followers, end up with no/low sales, which probably can kill the drive of running a business.
Exactly
Business is all about Marketing and Innovation

When you put a business in front of people’s faces consciously, it gets to their mind and they remember/refer you unconsciously.
Now let start with the parameters of online visibility.

Currently, people search for solutions they need via two mediums.
earch Engine and Social Media.

In the digital space, Marketing start with setting every parameter that will make your business visible, then you keep ahead with Innovation

Business is all about Marketing and Innovation

In the digital space, Marketing start with setting every parameter that will make your business visible, then you keep ahead with Innovation and branding.

When you put a business in front of people’s faces consciously, it gets to their mind and they remember/refer you unconsciously. 

Now let start with the parameters of online visibility.

Currently, people search for solutions they need via two mediums.

Search Engine and Social Media.

The search engine has been the primary way, and still the most used medium. but many of us are carried away by social media.

Forgetting that, even the big Nigeria e-commerce platform Jumia and Konga, drive almost 90% of sales from Search Engine, precisely Google.

Most people now sells what the majority of people buy from Jumia, Example like phone, bags, shoes, e.t.c

Let take a practical example: 

I just googled iPhone 11, and the first link that came out was Jumia.

See the image. : http://prnt.sc/q9f6et

If I was interested, I will click, and maybe first. 

But for where I see 500k :

On a more serious note, a sale has been been made from Google.

These are big giant putting a lot of money in a paid ad.

But who said, you cant leverage on that? 

The same way a lot of people search for what we sell, but our competitors keep eating on our heads. 

Now, the primary reason for this training is to learn, how to eat up your competitor.

Its payback time!

for every product or service you search on google, some links are on the first page.

One sure thing you are going to get from this training is, what are the things taking people to my competitor’s website.

After getting it, how do I leverage on them? 

Coz its practically a waste of time, that you claim to run an online business (not social media business), and people search for you or what you do and they cant find you.

However, what we have been saying is the secondary stage, what is the primary step.

The primary step, is to ask ourselves, where is the most used searched engine in the world?

Google.

I am sure most of us here know that Google has so many products, and the most common one for business owners is Google business.

I know this sounds very familiar, so many of us might have our business one Google business which is very good, but is your business optimized there?

That’s the big question, often time its No.

We just register there and relax. 

However, for those who are not on Google business, how do you want Google to help you with your business when you are not even registered with them?

Google My Business (Class One)

Welcome to Google my Business (Class One).

Getting you business visibility right start with your NAP

does NAP means

NAP is your Name, Address, and Phone Number. Google been the biggest internet giant made this possible by setting up a product called Google business. This products enable you to place your business on Google Maps and Places.

Making it possible for users to find you, where they search for you. we have couples of business here that are not on Google business, on this list training.xprexweb.com/Nov13set you can see for yourself if you are on Google business or not.

It’s compulsory for every business to get on Google business, so the starting point to logging on to

  • Step 1: Go to https://business.google.com/add/tv in a web browser. You can use any web browser on PC or Mac.  
  • Step 2: Type the name of your business then click “add your business to Google”. Click the line below the header that says “Business name” and type the name of your business. Click the blue button that says “Next”.
  • Step 3: Type the category that fits your business.  As you type, you will see a list of matching categories. Click the correct category as soon as you see it. Click “Next” when you finish selecting.  
  • Step 4: Click “Yes” to your add the location of your business
  • Step 5: Select the  Locations where you serve your customers
  • Step 6: select your business Region. E.g.: Nigeria
  • Step 7: type in your phone number, and website (if you have)
  • Step 8: Click Finish to complete your listing
  • Step 9:  You will see “Choose verification method”, Select verify by phone number, a code will be sent to you. If this option is not available click “Verify by a Google Representative” A bar code will appear, screenshot and upload @ xprexweb.com/class-update/  along side your utility bill for verification

Now, we have some businesses that are on Google business, but aren’t optimized. This is a mistake that over 90% of people are making

After successful verification of your business, you need to go back to your name and edit it, adding what you do to it.

Before i explain what i mean, let me explain a bit on how the search engine works.

any words or phrase searched on Google, rolls over the internet, to pick or fetch out everywhere that word is found.

The result is what you find on Google first, second or third page. And so on

Now, for example, some of our clients might identify us as *xprexweb*, while some of our audience might be looking for an online visibility company properly in Lagos.

so on our Google business profile, after our name, we added Web developer and Online Visibility Company in Nigeria

Meaning, we are setting command that, when people search for xprexweb or online visibility company in Nigeria, we want our Google business profile to pop up.

As you can search ‘online visibility company in Nigeria’  from your end or see the screenshot above.

How to Get contacts of your target audience (class three)

Finding a way to reach target customers is another important strategy of marketing. I know you you know about facebook ads and all, but this strategy, you can reach potential customers within your locality and beyond in a more personalized way.

Imagine this: you have a sugar factory in Ikeja where you sell bags of Sugar and you are able to get the phone numbers and emails of everyone living in Ikeja that are into baking of breads and cakes (your target customers),  and you send  all of them a personalized message or give them a cold call with an irresistible offer of your product! *Do you know what this will mean to your business?* this will result to 10x increase in sales! Increase in customer base that will in turn even refer other people to patronize you, increase in brand awareness!!

The first link was for email extractor

This is the link for phone number extractor

http://www.convertcsv.com/phone-extractor.htm

let me do a quick review of yesterday’s class and how the numbers can benefit small B2C(Business to Customers) business.

Now, one thing about customers and making sales is that.

People buy from people. There is no special set of people called customers. just that businesses varies with target customers.

I might be your customers, you may also be my customer.

I will be using your business as an example

I guess you sell wears, properly female wears

now the question is how can you find data (Numbers or email) of people that need female wears.

The way to go about this is by getting a list of businesses that are mostly owned by females. do a search for their contact…, this also applies if men are your target audience. you apply the same method.

This is how stressful marketing and reaching your audience can be. you will do the search with a location you feel your target audiences are.

So I can use a business as an practical example

Organic skincare products and skin supplements

your target audience mostly are women for this business

Apart from your industry, an example of other business dominated by women.

Are Hair, nails, cloths

Women you sell hair might need your skincare products.

so a keyword you can use for that is this

lekki hair ‘gmail.com’

if you type in this keyword on https://xprexweb.com/facebook/

the result you will get are people that *sell hair in lekki,* that have advertized their business on facebook.

whose email are also gmail.

you can do for yahoo or hot mail.

get thier emails and phone number, and market your business to them.

*Remember, People buy from people.* No Special people called customer.

We all are providing solutions for each other.

I guess we are all clear with this

I’m glad I could help. If you need more help with this, please kindly message me privately. 

  • CLASS ONE TASK: Search for at least 50 contacts of your target customers and upload screenshot to xprexweb.com/class-update/,  for verification.

Social Media Optimization (Class Three)

Welcom to Social Media Optimization Class. (class three)

We start from username.

When signing up on social media. The username is what differentiate your acct from other users

Getting a unique username for your brand is so vital.

By this I mean.

When creating your brand profile online. Try as much to portray excellence by choose a uniform username for Instagram, Twitter n Facebook.

Most people neglect one platform from the other. For example, some people think Facebook is no longer invoke. The whole concentration is now on Instagram.

If you are on this table, you re actually making your business UNFIT for the internet

Permit my usage of word UNFIT

Coz for us. FIT stands for.

*F*acebook

*I*nstagram

*T*witter

So the No 1 one goal is actually making your business FIT with a unique and uniform  username on the above platform.

After the username we have profile name

Ppl don’t know the diff.

Without  this, people will hardly fine you.

the right profile name for your kind of business is your industry

coz people will use the Instagram search element to search for what they know, like Home Appliaince . Your potentials clients dont know your business name

What they are looking for is people who sells Home Appliances, e.t.c

So to close up this point, Profile Names are meant to be …What you really do…like a keyword.

It should be what your audience are looking for.

Next is your Bio content.

This apply to all platforms

You can take example from instagram.com/xprexweb facebook.com/xprexweb twitter.com/xprexweb

If you are yet to drop a review on xprexweb.com/reviews , we have no choice but remove you.

Good morning guys, we are going to be having a further detailed explanation about social media optimization. Implementation is compulsory and proof to show you have implemented all that we will be discussing further is compulsory .

I will be proceeding on social media optimization .

Next point is your Bio.

The bio has a limit of 150 characters

If properly used, it can make alot of difference

your Bio should define what you do excellently, its should also contain your phone number and branded hash tags.  (will explain this later)

i mean branded or brand hashtag

I assume everybody here is using an Instagram business acct. where provision for contact details is already provided.

but some of your audience might not notice it or even know how to use it

so its very important to put your phone number on your bio.

It must also carry a call to action to the link on your bio .i.e the link provided for your website

however, most of us might not have a website. but I will be clarifying how to actually make proper use of the link.

Now, if you have a website, depending on the solution you provide.

It advisable to make people easily navigate your website via the link provided on your bio.

this can be possible via linktr.ee

Linktree is a free tool for optimizing your internet presence,  You get one link to house all the content

Is this for those without a website?

Not only, if you have multiples vital links to share with your audience. I will be using https://pinamart.com/ as an example shortly.

How do I add my watsapp button to linktree

will explain every thing

👍

Using pinamart.com/ as a case study, when you sign up on linktr.ee, your new link can now be, linktr.ee/pinamart or linktr.ee/pina_mart (whichever suit you), on your linktr.ee dashboard, you should now add important links of your website. For example, you have an e-commerce site. insert every important link of your site on your linktr.ee ..example are below.

*Links and what they should Read*

https://pinamart.com/product-category/pinafresh/ (Shop PinaFresh Products)

https://pinamart.com/product-category/baby-kids-toys/ ( Shop Baby Toys)

https://pinamart.com/product-category/homeappliances/ ( Shop Home Appliances )

https://pinamart.com/contact-us/ ( Contact Us)

You can add more links, if you like

Us*)

You can add more links, if you like

By so doing, you are making your profile user-friendly, so people can easily navigate your website.

: you are saving people time, they know exactly where they want to go.

: However, it advisable you make your contact link, your WhatsApp link.  People want to talk to you with just a click.

Is there anyone here who does not know how to generate his or her WhatsApp link.

The below link will guide you.

: https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/26000030/

once you have your WhatsApp link, on your linktr.ee profile, simple add it there

let me know if you need more explanation

and make sure, all your profile, facebook, twitter and facebook are uniform, this also shows a level of excellence and tell people you are serious with your brand and you are nor fraudulent

So we are done with the profile area of social media, now let go to content generation

CLASS THREE TASK: upload screenshot of your optimized social media bio to https://xprexweb.com/class-update/

Content Strategy & Hashtag (Class Four)

Welcome to Content Strategy and Hashtag Class ( Class Four)

How do you generate content?

People really wonder how some ppl find this so easy to do.

 However, should content be an issue?

No.

Meanwhile content for social media really varies

And that is because, when it social media, you can best communicate being social.

Your content so be of two angles basically.

Your stories and your solution.

Simply way to create content for your business is…sharing your brand story

: I will be using this business as a case study

I will assume she produce skincare products

: If am your follower, I will be interested you share your story

: Like pictures of while you produce your product

How you package it and all sort

: However, you select what you want to show people

The kind of content make people content yo your brand more.

They can’t come to your office but they see your stories every day

It keep piling up in their sub conscious mind

They might not need your service now.

But whenever someone needs it, you come up first in their mind

Because you have taken your time to feed their mind with your

The truth is that, so far you are in business everyday, you must has a story to share.

You do marketing for tomorrow today.

Another content strategy is your solution.

In fact, this is where the work is.

You need people to understand the solution you are providing as a budiness

For example, your product can clear stretch mark.

Stretch mark is a problem

Your business is the solution

Do a video or write content about the causes of stretch mark.

Title it, the causes of stretch mark.

People who has it, will be interested to read about it

Its a problem and they need solution for it.

So you talk about the problem your are solving rather  than just the post you products.

Engage with your audience, talk more about problem

It could be image or video.

But people needs to know what problem is your brand solving

For example tou sell Ready made and Fabrics

your audience are people that want to slay. if am not mistaking

must of your content will have to be in video.

most*

showing your audience how each fabric can blend on their skin, and also the most preferred kind of occasion it goes with. explaining the texture, quality, and all sorts.

the goal is to be social as possible as you can while telling your stories or pushing content.

if you have a physical location, do this in your store

: let people know you have a physical location, audience like this prefer to walk-in and check things out.

Let them have a feel of the vibe of your business while in their comfort zone.

Please if you have not drop review on Xprexweb.com/reviews, send me a message so I add you up on a new group, where we complete this class.

Before we proceed to today’s class, I quickly need to discuss Captions and Hashtags.

So while sharing your brand stories and solutions, Captions matters.

Your caption needs to be engaging and have a call to action

Most often, you remind your target audience what they should do,

Like: click the link in Bio of download, order, buy and all sort

always put this in their face.

While you have organized links in your Bio

HASHTAGS

a word or phrase preceded by a hash sign (#), used on social media website identify messages on a specific topic.

We have 3 kinds of hashtags.

Hashtags by Industry, Hashtags by Location and Hashtags by Events

For example you deal with skincare products

 An example of your hashtag by Industry can be #skincare #organicskincare #blacksoap  and all sort.

things relating to your industry

Hashtags by location can by #lagosskincare #lekkibusiness and all sort

Hashtags by event are mostly trending hashtags. currently we can say #freesowore is a trending hashtag #te14 (the Xperience, the 14th edition), #onemusicafrica and all sort of trending event.

#blackfriday

so as you use these hashtags alone side with your posts, people searching for updates and stories patterning to those hashtags also sees your post.

this is one way to extent your visibility on social media organically.

Search Engine Optimization (Class Five)

Welcome to Search Engine Optimization ( Class Five)

Search Engine Optimization

How do your pop up on Google based on the solution you are providing?

now the primary factor of this a knowing how keywords words

what are keywords?

if you ever made any search on google before, you have made use of keywords.

Keywords are basically phrases that comes to our mind when we want to search for a piece of information online.

for example, one can decide to search for : *stretch mark removal*

now  *stretch mark removal* is a keyword

online can also decide to search for *stretch mark removal Lagos*

people offend add a location to their keywords because they want to patronize people close to them.

now how do you get keywords related to by business?

one common way people get keywords related to there business, by assumption …people assume that their audience might by using a certain phare to look for their product, by one might not also be right.

but the best way is to leverage on our competitor

how do I mean, we have big brands kind Konga and Jumia …drawing a huge traffic online.

these are big e-commerce platform, that basically has different categories, and most of us do business around there category  . for example, you sale cloths.

all you need to do or know is the keyword that drives traffic to Konga Cloth section.

people that visit Konga cloth section, are your audience, you need to know what they are searching for and that’s landing them on that page.

to know the exact keyword drawing traffic to any exact page will cost one some cash.

however, what will you do with these keywords, when you get them.

You leverage on them, by using them on your website if you have one.

or if you don’t have, we will still talk about how to use them as an off-page SEO strategy

Apart from Konga or Jumia, if you know any big competitor in your industry that has a website, you can dm us their name, we will help you find the keywords that drive people there.

Or if you want to know what people are searching for in your industry, why can also help you out with that.

Optimazation is in two-part, On page and Off page

However, optimization deals with keywords.

On-Page optimization is done on website

While Off-page, is done off website.

So if you have a website, and know or have some kindly of keywords you want to use, you achieve this using a plugin called, Yoast SEO.

I wont be speaking much about Yoast SEO in-order to safe time, coz I dont know how many of use have a website.

If you have a website and you think you need to know more about Yoast SEO, kindly dm me.

Now for off page seo, this is a way to utilize keywords even if you dont have a website.

First thing first, getting relevant keywords about your industry.

Now after getting relevant keywords, you utilize it on Question and Answer site like Quora and Bizhub

Bizhub is also a product by xprexweb

all you need to do it is, make the keyword the title of the article

for example, you can have a keyword like… What is the causes of strech mark. Go to Quara , Bizhub.com.ng or Nairaland, make a content about the keywords and also introduce the solution (Which is your business )

hence, people that search using that keyword might land of the page you posted that content and contact you.

this is basically, content marketing.

We will be glad, if you can share what you gained so far on the comment section of this below link.

Thank you, thank you thank you.
